Nude & Natural: The Magazine of Naturist Living or simply N magazine, is a quarterly 100+ page naturist magazine published by The Naturist Society Foundation in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and distributed throughout the United States and internationally. In addition to the current news the magazine also features scholarly articles on naturist history, culture and current legal issues.
Although it has a small paid staff, many articles and photos are contributed by TNSF members. The editors eschew the use of posed "glamor" photography; rather it publishes photos of naturists of all ages and physical condition simply enjoying nude recreation. Since the Spring of 2005 the magazine has been printed in full color; in 2008 TNS began using recycled paper.
Membership in The Naturist Society Foundation includes a subscription to N magazine.
